Your Event
First founded in 1071 Dudley Castle was built on a limestone hill overlooking the town. John Dudley rebuilt the Castle in 1510 as a Renassance Palace and it became the residence of many Lords. It was a grand Castle and was visited by many Royals over the periods. Like many buildings during the Industrial Revolution it had coalmine quarries dug underneath its foundations and subsequently there were many deaths and injuries suffered by the workers. This, coupled with a fire lasting for three days saw the Castle abandoned and left in ruins.The Dudley family eventually regained the Castle and it is now home to Dudley Zoo.
It is said to be one of the most haunted locations in The Midlands and this is not suprising when you consider the history attached to the building. Many of the Zoo workers who work in the 17th Century Stone House have seen and heard things which have terrified them and consequently they ensure that they are rarely alone.
There have been sightings of a ghostly figure named The Grey Lady, who is thought to be the Ghost of Mrs Doroty Beaumont. Mediums have picked up on her anguish as she appears to be looking for her husband who was prevented from being buried next to her. Other apparitions of a Black Monk have been seen along with a medieval Lady. Poltergeist activity has also been witnessed with stones being thrown. There have been unexplained sounds such as chanting and whispering heard by many. There have also been dramatic temperature changes felt.
Haunted Happenings are going to investigate Dudley Castle to see what ghost and spirit activity we can discover.
You will be accompanied by our Medium who will help to discover the spirits and ghosts around you on the night. You will also be given a history tour of the castle. Full use of our ghost hunting equipment will be available as well as some paranormal experimentation. You will be able to carry out your own vigils and have the opportunity to film during the event. Sandwiches and refreshments will be served throughout the night and all you need to do is to dress warmly and bring a torch.
Testimonial
Just want to thank the Haunted Happenings team, for yet another great night.
The night was amazing, the cottage..... really creepy, would of been great to go inside. The castle where we saw what looked like a little boy, but when you got to the top, there was nothing there.
The gift shop was full of activity, but the strange thing was the phone, it rang, but when Paul answered it, nothing..... The Ouija board with Alistair was brilliant, what a character.
Great night, great place, great team!!
See you all again soon
